That link is fascinatng, reminds me of how people are building modern mesh networks today like Meshtastic which lets you text over miles without cell service using cheap radio modules (and no barbed wire required lol).
This is pretty cool. I always admire when people can create their own networks. Kinda reminds me of Hong Kong protests when many there were using fire chat.
Oh yeah I was reading about the mycelium mesh project the other day. I think they used rechargable disposable vape batteries, or it could have been small solar panels idk. It’s all pretty cool.
Shout out to farmers with barbed wire fence phone networks.

Solar powered meshtastic enters the chat.
